Public access

You can visit this website without signing in or creating an account.

Website hosting

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc. When you visit, the hosting platform processes technical access data, such as your IP address, the time of access and the page requested, in order to deliver and protect the website. For information about the platform, see the Vercel privacy policy.

Visitor statistics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page visits and to see which campaigns, for example an email with a link marked with utm parameters, lead visitors to this website. The service sets no cookies and does not build profiles across websites. It records the page visited, the referring page, the campaign parameters, browser, operating system, device type and country. Visitors are distinguished only by a value derived from the request that changes daily; IP addresses are not stored. Order references and access keys are removed before sending. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of our event communication (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Content and features of this website

Images and font files are served with the website. This website has no registration form or embedded map. Selecting “Get directions” opens Google Maps, where Google’s privacy information applies.

The ticket pages contain an order form; see “Ticket purchase” below.

Meta Pixel

With your consent, this website uses the Meta Pixel of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland. It shows us which of our ads on Facebook and Instagram work, lets us show ads to people who have visited this website and tells us whether an ad led to a ticket order. Without your consent, nothing is loaded from Meta.

If you consent, your browser loads a script from Meta, and cookies from Meta are stored in your browser (_fbp, and _fbc after clicking an ad). Meta receives the page visited, the time, your IP address and browser information, and on the ticket pages that tickets were viewed or ordered, together with the order value. This website does not pass names, email addresses or order references to Meta. Meta may link this information to a Facebook or Instagram account and use it for its own purposes. Data may be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA, which is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. STARTPLATZ and Meta are jointly responsible for collecting and transmitting the data (Art. 26 GDPR); Meta is responsible for its further processing. Details: Meta privacy policy, agreement on joint responsibility.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future, via Cookies at the bottom of every page or here: Change cookie setting.

Partner and expert enquiries

The partner and expert contact links open your email application with a suggested subject and message. You can edit the draft before sending it to ai-week@startplatz.de. The website itself does not submit or store these enquiries.

Ticket purchase

Tickets for AI Week are sold by STARTPLATZ Düsseldorf GmbH. When you order on the ticket pages, your browser sends your details directly to Allmeda, the event and booking platform operated by STARTPLATZ at startplatz.de. STARTPLATZ is the controller for this processing.

We process the details you provide as buyer (name, email address, optional company and phone number, billing address, optional VAT ID and purchase order number, and any different billing details) as well as the name, email address and preferred language of each attendee. We use them to process the order, issue and send tickets, create invoices, handle transfers and admit attendees. The legal basis is the performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our obligations under commercial and tax law (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

As with other STARTPLATZ event registrations, STARTPLATZ creates a participant profile for each attendee or uses an existing one. Attendees receive their ticket and a personal access link by email. Reservations for practice sessions, answers about attending the evening and check-in times at the entrance are stored to plan and run the event. A purchase does not include consent to newsletters or marketing.

If you enter details of other people, please inform them about this notice.

Payment with Stripe

Payments, invoices and tax calculation are processed by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin, Ireland. For immediate payment, the payment form is loaded from Stripe’s servers only in the payment step; Stripe receives the payment details you enter there together with technical device and usage data to process the payment and prevent fraud. For payment by invoice, Stripe receives the billing details and sends the invoice. For more information, see the Stripe privacy policy.

Storage in your browser and access links

While you order, your selection and entries are kept in the session storage of this browser tab, so that going back or switching language does not lose them. After the order has been placed, only the order reference and the access key remain there. Session storage is deleted when you close the tab. Access links in our emails carry the access key after the # sign; this part of the address is not sent to our web server.

Retention

We keep order and invoice data for as long as commercial and tax law requires, generally up to ten years. Other ticket data is deleted once it is no longer needed for the event and the settlement of the contract.

KI-Praxisbarometer NRW 2026 survey

For AI Week, STARTPLATZ Düsseldorf GmbH and Best CCC GmbH are conducting the KI-Praxisbarometer NRW 2026, a survey on the use of AI in companies in North Rhine-Westphalia. Both companies are jointly responsible for the survey (Art. 26 GDPR). You can contact either of them; requests concerning your data can be sent to dus@startplatz.de.

The survey runs on Tally, a form service of Tally BV, Belgium, which processes the answers on our behalf. The questions concern your company and its use of AI; answering them does not require your name. We evaluate the answers only in aggregated form and publish the results at AI Week without any reference to individual companies or persons.

At the end of the survey you can optionally enter your email address to receive the results and to take part in the prize draw. We use it only for these purposes and not for newsletters or other marketing. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time by writing to dus@startplatz.de. For the survey answers, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in the study (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We delete the email addresses once the results have been sent and the prize draw has been completed, at the latest on 31 March 2027. The survey answers are kept for evaluation after the email addresses have been removed.
